Report: Matt Leinart's Injury Likely Season-Ending

Matt Leinart's shoulder injury may end the Texans quarterback's season, according to a tweet from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

"Texans QB Matt Leinart," Schefter writes, "whose left arm was in a sling with a collarbone injury, said there's a 'pretty good possibility' his season is over."

Leinart was playing in relief of Matt Schaub, who also suffered a season-ending injury, and the opportunity was widely viewed as a last chance for Leinart to establish himself as a viable NFL QB.  A first-round draft pick of the Cardinals, Leinart entered the league to high expectations following a successful career at USC, but always found himself derailed in Arizona.  The chance to fill in for Schaub with the Texans seemed to offer and opportunity to lead a team with a lot of offensive firepower and an established, successful scheme.
